The Antoine Fuqua-directed Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" has officially taken the crown as the highest-grossing film of 2026 worldwide, surpassing "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" at the global box office. Starring Jaafar Jackson—the late King of Pop's real-life nephew—the film crossed the $1 billion threshold despite receiving mixed to negative critical reviews upon release.
In addition to leading 2026's global box office, the biographical drama shattered several historical records. It surpassed Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" to become the highest-grossing biopic of all time and eventually overtook the legendary 1994 lifetime theatrical gross of "The Lion King."
The blockbuster's historic financial run was significantly propelled by strong international turnout, particularly benefiting from extended theatrical legs in key overseas markets like Japan and Russia.
